Courtney Cox Sings The Wiggles: Late Last Night

By:
Sam Morgan
May 25, 2011

On The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson last night Courtney Cox talked about their shared love of the fabled children’s show. But that’s not the crazy part. The crazy part is that she gives her kids $20 for a lost tooth. $20! Man, I guess that Friends’ money is still pouring in.
Meanwhile on Leno, Demetri Martin gave a fairly boring interview (what would you expect with Leno?) but he manages to save it at the end with a picture of Meredith Viera.
Then on Conan Topher Grace tells about a prank he did at Disney. Is it just me or does Topher come off as kind of a dick in this? Just a theory, needs more research.
Melissa McCarthy was also on Conan last night and she confirms what most of us would do if we saw Conan walking past us. Thrust the pelvis, every time.

Now this is turning out to be quite the cast for Dark Shadows. Tim Burton, aside for hiring his usual cohorts Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, has managed to round up Johnny Lee Miller as well as the previously reported Chloe Moretz, Jackie Earle Haley, Eva Green and Michelle Pfeiffer. Not too shabby a find.
We’ve also been given the first official synopsis. I’m sincerely hoping the Burton that shows up to direct this one is the same Burton that managed to make all those classics from the 80s and 90s. The Burton that’s been hanging around since 2001 has been Tim Burtoning himself into an almost Tyler Perry-like state. Ooh, sick burn.
Read on below for the plot synopsis:
In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet—or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy…until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Brouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive.
Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), to help with her family troubles.
Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth’s ne’er-do-well brother, Roger Collins (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz); and Roger’s precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath). The mystery extends beyond the family, to caretaker Willie Loomis, played by Jackie Earle Haley, and David’s new nanny, Victoria Winters, played by Bella Heathcote.

During its ten year run, did anyone else forget that Smallville was actually about Superman? And somehow became the longest running sci-fi show in the United States? Both of these are quite shameful, aren’t they?
Anyway, would-be Man of Steel Tom Welling is now in talks with the other team, Marvel, about a possible role in one of their upcoming flicks, though no one is quite sure which movie that will be. Possibilities include Doctor Strange, Runaways, and Deathlok, which are all B (or C) string characters/titles that few outside of the local comic shop have heard of. I stopped being familiar with the current superheroes in film when they told me Jonah Hex was a comic and I asked if he had ever been on Conan.

Dang, Nathan Fillion is so damn charming with Jimmy Kimmel. He goes hunting gophers ala Caddyshack the night before and never before has rodent control seemed so endearing.
We don't have Craig Ferguson's show on LLN that often which is a shame because he's one of the better hosts out there. Like this interview with Thor’s director Kenneth Branagh, it’s entertaining, insightful, and really really funny. Also he really likes Doctor Who, which is always a plus in my book.
Ginnifer Goodwin, the star of the hugely forgettable Something Borrowed, chatted with Jay Leno, the star of the hugely forgettable Tonight Show.
Judd Apatow was on Conan and revealed that he recently started allowing his kids to say “shit.” So, not only do his kids get to star in his movies, hang out with the funniest comedians all the time, but they also get to say shit in the house? Damn, lucky kids.

Confession time! I read Twilight. Then I read all the other books in the series. I even read the half-a-book that Meyers never finished because it got leaked. Then, once I got over that very brief period of fascination with the novels I realized what a load of trash they were. Then the film came out and Summit Entertainment managed to make it an even bigger pile of trash! When I listened to the commentary (I’m a sucker for self-flagilation) I realized what the problem was: Catherine Hardwicke.
Hardwicke is not a good filmmaker and yet she’ll continue to get work because of how successful that film was despite it only making money for simply being Twilight.
She has lined up her new gig, an adaptation of The Bitch Posse. This is yet another young adult book filled with all the emotional ennui of watching a drop of water spread slowly over a paper napkin. The book follows three girls in high school who are tough, but best friends. However something shakes them to the core which haunts them into adulthood. The film jumps back and forth between their high school and adult lives. So hooray for talentless hacks who seem to fail upwards! You give hope to us all!

Bokeem Woodbine (the second most popular Bokeem in history, after his excellency Bokeem the Bird Sniffer of the Great White Swamp) has landed a role in the reboot of Total Recall. He'll play the best friend to the man in what was originally Arnold Schwarzenegger's part. And if you don't totally recall the movie (this is why they pay me the big bucks, folks) the main character thinks he's an undercover agent on Mars. Woodbine joins the already impressive cast of Bryan Cranston -- really, Cranston is all you need to make the cast impressive.
Anyway, you may remember Bo (as he is known to his close circle of friends and those who read his Wikipedia page) from Devil, the movie that unfortunately had M. Night Shyamalan's named splashed all over it and was pretty good despite that.

Well, looks like Paul Greengrass won’t be making his Martin Luther King, Jr movie anytime soon. And since idle hands are the devil’s workshop (which I bet violates so many building codes) he’s looking for another project. Among the front runners for his next film is an adaptation of The Deep Good-By, a novel featuring the misadventure-prone beach bum and sometimes “salvage consultant” Travis McGee. Oliver Stone was considering it as his next picture, but dropped out in favor of the quickly-casting-up Savages.
Leading the pack of potential McGee's is Leonardo DiCaprio, who's long wanted to play the laid-back protagonist. The McGee novels have numbers running in the tens, so this is a potential franchise (because everything is a franchise these days). Greengrass is looking at other projects as well while Dicaprio hasn’t had a weekend free in three years and seems to be booked all the way through 2034.

One of biggest changes Conan made to his new show, he made to his face. Specifically it was his beard. That he grew. But that’s about to change. Will Ferrell is promising (threatening?) to shave it off when he is a guest on May 2nd. He’s made two videos on two different days (though he’s somehow wearing the same clothes in each) promising that it’s coming off. Needless to say, he’s coming off a little crazy, but when does Will Ferrell not come off as crazy?
The first video aired Monday night as part of Conan’s “Haha, I Found An Error” contest.
The second came during Tina Fey’s interview. Fun note - Tina Fey always has the best clips when she comes on Conan. Just thought I’d share that with you.

Must be my lucky day. Third article in a row about a beautiful woman joining a great project. I’m not sure what entertainment journalism god I pleased, but I’m going to keep sacrificing to him/her/it.
Anyway, Isla Fisher is in talks to join Baz Luhrmann’s Great Gatsby. She’ll join a cast that already includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, and Carrey Mulligan. Fisher would be playing the mistress Myrtle of the adulterous Ben Affleck (Tom Buchanan) who is also still in negotiations to join the cast.
Can this be real? Isla Fisher and Carrey Mulligan in the same movie? Be still my stuttering heart. Seriously, be still. I’ve been having unusual heart beats. And this isn’t helping. Curse you talented and beautiful British and Australian actresses! Curse you to appear in more movies so I can see your beauty on giant screens! That'll show them.

In terms of mythical reunions, the big ones everyone knows are: the cast of Seinfeld on Curb (hilarious), McCartney and Lennon in ‘76 (rumored), and Jerry Garcia with the Grateful Dead (zombied). But now we have one that blows them all out of the water: Katie Couric is returning to Today with Matt Lauer. But only as a guest.
On Wednesday, Couric will return to the fabled studio where she cut her teeth on fluff piece after fluff piece. Lauer will be interviewing her about her new book The Best Advice I Ever Got: Lessons From Extraordinary Lives and no doubt the sexual tension that so prevailed when they co-hosted together from 1997 to 2006 will be back in full force. I highly doubt it will be that awkward unless Lauer brings up the Happy Feet DVD that Couric borrowed and never gave back. And since both of their contracts are running out (Couric is expected to leave the CBS anchor post and Lauer’s future with Today is questionable after his ends in 2012) the reunion could potentially indicate whether they will re-team back together in a syndicated talk show. Putting them together again is, after all, the only way to see if the sparks are still flying between the two of them (in between, of course stories of a dog’s bark that sounds like “I love you” and Kathie Lee Gifford getting drunk again).
